Sally Struthers Shares 1 Of Her Fondest Memories Of Bea Arthur

She described Arthur as a “big deal” during a podcast appearance.

Sally Struthers is taking us down the road and back again with a sentimental memory from the late Bea Arthur.

While making an appearance on the “Let’s Talk About That” podcast with Larry Saperstein and Jacob Bellotti back in January, Struthers recounted the inception of her relationship with the late “Golden Girls” star and how it made an impact on her life.

Struthers started the conversation discussing how Arthur was brought on to the popular series “All in the Family” and expressed how she pushed the envelope and made it her own. Arthur played liberal feminist Maude Findlay on the show.

“Bea Arthur was filthier than a drunken sailor, on purpose,” Struthers said on Arthur’s appearance on the sitcom. She revealed that the actor would sneak in expletives into her scenes to add a sense of levity, and that her brilliance and prowess were unmatched.

Struthers then noted that Arthur’s “All in the Family” role led to her having a spinoff series, “Maude,” and later “The Golden Girls,” before recalling a fond memory of the entertainer that she still can recite with ease.
